Resolve Compatibility with Remote Tunnels & Dev Containers

[ItamarChinn]

It would be great if you could add support for Remote Tunnels that was recently added to VS Code. This is a great feature for remote development.

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/tunnels

[TomMoeras]

Yes, I second this. Also, it seems that currently Cursor turns off / doesn't have the builtin Microsoft extension leading to some confusion related to this, see also: microsoft/vscode-azure-account#897 (comment)

[TomMoeras]

An update on this would be really helpful. The ability to connect to tunnels and use the Microsoft account plays a significant role in the workflow for many of us.

[xinyu-dev]

Agree. Must have for me

[toonverbeek]

Commenting for visibility! Same requirement to connect to be able to connect to a Microsoft Azure account .

[arvid220u]

This is shipped in 0.35.0! https://changelog.cursor.sh/#035---default-on-cursor-prediction-remote-tunnels--more-robust-ssh

[TomMoeras]

Thanks for the update! It seems that I'm still unable to use my Microsoft account to connect to a remote tunnel. Also, the Microsoft extension is not enabled/installed as far as I can tell. Curious to see if others have the same problem.

Should a new issue be opened for this @arvid220u? Thanks in advance!

[arvid220u]

Hmm, my apologies, let me reopen! @Sanger2000 for debugging

[damianhodgkiss]

This is shipped in 0.35.0! https://changelog.cursor.sh/#035---default-on-cursor-prediction-remote-tunnels--more-robust-ssh

do these work on all OS's or lacking like remote SSH?

0.35.1 on MacOS:

code tunnel
spawn /Applications/Cursor.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin/cursor-tunnel ENOENT

cursor tunnel
spawn /Applications/Cursor.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin/cursor-tunnel ENOENT

[felipejfc]

how to serve a tunnel?

user in cursor ❯ cursor tunnel

spawn c:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\cursor\bin\cursor-tunnel.exe ENOENT

[CesarERamosMedina]

@arvid220u Any update on this? microsoft/vscode-azure-account#897

[Ed-Ackerman]

Does cursor support code-tunnelling like VS code

[albert-ying]

Is there any update on this?

[ssijak]

Any plans for this, cant login to azure

[nrw303]

well this is disappointing. guess its still a problem and we cannot use the Azure tools in cursor... boo!

[Alavi1412]

I am getting this error when I want to connect to a remote Tunnel:

VS Code is working perfectly fine with that tunnel.

[yuchenlichuck]

hi, there me too, i can't acess tunnel and ssh

[mauricekleine]

I would love to see this fixed as well, specifically so I can use Azure extensions in Cursor.

[wtzr]

Cursor is awesome. This is just the last detail for me to make it 10/10. Currently I switch to vscode purely for azure tools and deploying.

[lokki007]

Fix azure please

[denera]

It looks like Cursor connects to the tunnel just fine, but then attempts to install the VSCode server from an invalid URL: https://update.code.visualstudio.com/commit:63dae81aea2c3fc079420fe72578a8eef26ba870/server-linux-x64/stable

The same issue has been reported for Dev Containers as well: #1882

[krishparikh23]

Second this ^^ Would love to use tunnels with Cursor, but I'm running into the same error :/

[jannikwienecke]

yes please fix the issue

[justinkay]

+1 running into the same error -- would be great to have this feature!

[danperks]

Same issue with Remote Tunnels, really essential feature for my usage

[cezarc1]

Would be nice to get an update on this. For clarity I am an "business" class seat customer.

[wendlerc]

I had the same issue and now solved it by switching from

plugin to

This unfortunately doesn't resolve the Remote - Tunnels issue for me

[cnut1648]

Hopefully we can have remote tunnel support added soon... I understand the reason why cursor team wants to build their own fork of VS code, but please also support all functionalities of VS code. This feature could be important to a lot of devs

[LakshyAAAgrawal]

Just to add in another data point in hope this is useful to devs:

I see the following error when I launch code tunnel on server and try to connect using cursor on my client device:

[2024-10-14 16:04:45] error [rpc.3] Error installing server: error requesting https://update.code.visualstudio.com/commit:c499aee5f16e67815c7dc795ff338dc8ab3e07f0/server-linux-x64/stable: 404 Not Found

code version on server:

$ code --version
1.94.1
e10f2369d0d9614a452462f2e01cdc4aa9486296

cursor version on client:

$ cursor --version
0.42.2
c499aee5f16e67815c7dc795ff338dc8ab3e07f0
arm64

I will be glad to help with any other info that may help debugging.

[leo-du]

I'm seeing the same error reported in previous threads. This particular lack of functionality is becoming increasingly problematic that I had to abandon cursor altogether now. It'd be great to get a fix.

[stevenbei]

Same issues here. From Cursor trying to connect to the same server I get the following:

[2024-10-17 20:30:33] info [rpc.4] Checking /home/jupyter/.vscode/cli/servers/Stable-949de58bd3d85d530972cac2dffc4feb9eee1e40/log.txt and /home/jupyter/.vscode/cli/servers/Stable-949de58bd3d85d530972cac2dffc4feb9eee1e40/pid.txt for a running server...

But from VSCode, I'm getting the following message / commit ID

[2024-10-17 20:34:07] info [rpc.5] Checking /home/jupyter/.vscode/cli/servers/Stable-384ff7382de624fb94dbaf6da11977bba1ecd427/log.txt and /home/jupyter/.vscode/cli/servers/Stable-384ff7382de624fb94dbaf6da11977bba1ecd427/pid.txt for a running server...

Looks like Cursor's trying to update CLI to a non-existent version on the server

[AITechTim]

For anyone willing to do some manual setup, I got it working with these steps (Remote Tunnels v.1.5.2, Cursor v.0.42.2 commit c499aee5f16e67815c7dc795ff338dc8ab3e07f0, VSCode v1.91.1 (commit f1e16e1e6214d7c44d078b1f0607b2388f29d729)):

1. On your local cursor menu go to Help -> About and copy Version, VSCode Version and Commit
2. Have code tunnel available at the remote machine (Using the 'code' CLI. code --version should be the same or similar version to the one noted in step 1.
3. Download the correct cursor release via this URL

https://cursor.blob.core.windows.net/remote-releases/${version}-${commit}/vscode-reh-${os}-${arch}.tar.gz

In my setup this became

wget https://cursor.blob.core.windows.net/remote-releases/0.42.2-c499aee5f16e67815c7dc795ff338dc8ab3e07f0/vscode-reh-linux-x64.tar.gz

5. Run the following commands

export CURSOR_COMMIT=c499aee5f16e67815c7dc795ff338dc8ab3e07f0
mkdir -p ~/.vscode/cli/servers/Stable-$CURSOR_COMMIT/server/
tar -xzvf vscode-reh-linux-x64.tar.gz --strip-components=1 -C ~/.vscode/cli/servers/Stable-$CURSOR_COMMIT/server/
cp ~/.vscode/cli/servers/Stable-$CURSOR_COMMIT/server/bin/cursor-server ~/.vscode/cli/servers/Stable-$CURSOR_COMMIT/server/bin/code-server

6. Start remote tunnel with code tunnel and follow instructions
7. You should now be able to connect to the tunnel from your local cursor instance.
   If you get any messages like "Error installing Server" or "No such file",
   it might be a good idea to start the remote tunnel with code tunnel --log debug to see which files it's trying to open, because it seems the server path changes regulary.

[cnut1648]

Thanks! @AITechTim, can confirm that this works on different cursor version (my version is 0.42.3 and commit 949de58bd3d85d530972cac2dffc4feb9eee1e40)

This seems to be the right solution! In case anyone wants to combine this with logging in to their Microsoft account, this can be done by following the steps here: microsoft/vscode-azure-account#897 (comment).

Found the fix elsewhere. https://forum.cursor.com/t/azure-extension-doesent-work/3949/15

Fix Azure extensions on Cursor Cursor does not come with Microsoft authentication, a builtin extension for vscode

To get this extension, grab it from VSCode \AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\resources\app\extensions\microsoft-authentication Copy to \AppData\Local\Programs\cursor\resources\app\extensions

For MacOS

/Applications/Visual Studio Code. app/Contents/Resources/app/extensions/microsoft-authentication and /Applications/Cursor.app/Contents/Resources/app/extensions

Reload Cursor windows after.

[svenbledt]

Issue seems still not be fixxed. What do i pay for if i cant use the sub properly :(

[AaronJessen]

@svenbledt I'm asking myself the same thing...between this issue, and Azure extensions timing out before authenticating, and previous Composer sessions constantly being erased, I'm about to completely bail on Cursor. It's a real shame.

[coding-famer]

FYI, I'm not sure about Azure, but for github, you should install cursor cli from https://api2.cursor.sh/updates/download-latest?os=cli-alpine-x64, and run ./cursor tunnel to start a new vscode/cursor tunnel server like what you do in vscode.

Would somebody be so kind to post a step by step on how to achieve this. Im unable to get this working, but I also do not understand how to apply the above fix. Thanks!
